Sound card question?

Apr 7th, 2005

I am installing an audigy 2 soundcard into a system. It has onboard sound already. Do I have to disable the onboard sound or will it be ok. I have a front audio port which I want to use. Will it work if the onboard is disabled?

You're definitely better off disabling the onboard soundcard as it may conflict with the Audigy. As for the front audio ports, they may have cables connected to them that are run to the MB. You could just disconnect them and run them to the Audigy if it has the available pins. Also, you're right, once you disable the onboard from the bios, the front ports will not work unless you reconnect them to your Audigy somehow.
